DATA MODELS FOR EFFICIENT ENERGY USE

SECOVE: SUSTAINABLE ENERGY CENTRES OF VOCATIONAL EXCELLENCE


One of the objectives of the SECOVE project is to promote holistic approaches to individual qualifications driven by the labor market under the general theme of sustainable and efficient energy. There is no doubt that to achieve this today, many energy companies are using data models to make more efficient use of energy.


So much so that these models are providing a structured and analytical representation of information related to energy consumption, generation, and management. Some ways in which they facilitate this efficiency include:


  1. Real-time monitoring and analysis: Data models enable real-time data collection and organization from smart sensors and meters, making it possible to detect consumption patterns, identify losses or inefficiencies, and make informed decisions quickly.
  2. Energy use optimization: By analyzing historical and real-time data, models can identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary consumption, adjust demand, and optimize the operation of energy systems, such as electrical grids or industrial facilities.
  3. Demand and generation forecasting: Predictive models help anticipate variations in energy demand and generation, enabling more accurate planning and better integration of renewable sources, reducing waste and overloads.
  4. Integration of renewable energies: Data models facilitate the efficient management of intermittent renewable sources, such as solar or wind, helping to balance supply and demand and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
  5. Predictive maintenance: Data modeling makes it possible to predict equipment failures or wear and tear, reducing downtime and improving the operational efficiency of energy infrastructure.
  6. Data-driven decision-making: The availability of accurate and well-structured data models supports managers and policymakers in designing more sustainable and efficient energy strategies, promoting the rational use of resources.


We believe that data models provide the basis for understanding, predicting, and optimizing energy consumption, contributing to smarter and more sustainable management of energy resources. In this sense, this approach can contribute to the continued development of the second part of the SECOVE project, with an emphasis on data models.
